Hi dude,

What's up?

For my story, here's a progress report. The paint is done, car would be back this week from the body shop. We had many delay but I hope that now, it will be fine.

In the same time, I'm preparing my bullet proof 9" rear end... I got the housing, got today the axles (Moser 35 splines), next step will be the disc brake and finally a complete third member. All supplied from Quick Performance.

Next step would be headliner then, all interior stuffs. For me, tedious next steps would be:

- Ready for spring
- The engine is crying every night to be driven!!

For me, I drove it last time one year and 3 months ago!!!!! It's too long, I hate driving my VW Passat! Want to drive, to hear the engine!

Tedious steps are cool because now, I begin to realize how beautiful will be that pony dude, I spent 3h30 this afternoon to reinstall:

- Fuel filler neck
- Chrome lenses
- Back up light

The fuel filler neck was too big and I had to cut it a little bit but now, waoow, it's really nice.

Man that looks clean! I swear we must have used the exact color or paint. Keep up the great work.
